Sources for 204 Ruger AR barrels

I see Wilson Combat offers them but they are on extended backorder. Brownell's has a DPMS in stock but the reviews are mixed on those. Any other places I'm overlooking?

Dedicated technoligy in MN, Mike makes a badass 204 that you would not be disappointed in. Not sure how backed up he is but with his demand I would bet its awhile.

I just had JP Enterprises make me a 204 Ruger upper. I think they also sell just the barrels. Lilja web site says they have 204 ruger barrels in stock. I have been told the JP is a very accurate barrel but when I was measuring the chamber it looks like they use a SAAMI spec reamer. Not the best for loading bullets to fit magazine length and the barrel twist they offer is ideal for 40gr bullets but if I loaded the rounds even close to the lands the shorter 40gr bullet would not even seat in the case. I will see how it shoots but if it don't shoot like I want then I will have a custom reamer made that will work better for 40gr bullets loaded for magazine length.

I'm running a Shilen 24" 1:9 Twist and it shoots great with 40gr Vmax loaded to 2.25" with 27.0gr of 8208XBR. Check MidwayUSA for availability.
